Probably so, but as has been aired here before, I just wish our British mentality allowed us to accept zip queuing. Even when I've seen signs instructing this, there has still been one huge queue of single file traffic getting stroppy when someone does as instructed and uses the second lane. I don't mind that people wish to argue that a bottle neck is a bottle neck, and throughput is thus unaffected. Probably so. What I do mind is confining the queue to the shortest section of road possible, thus reducing inconveniece to those who would otherwise be able to reach their exit point, reducing potential speed diffrential between two lanes, and reducing stress and bad driving. If two lanes are full of queued traffic, and a zip system is properly used, within a small percentage it wouldn't matter a jot which lane you found yourself in. Result? Relax and go with the flow.

I have to say that I seriously resent some pushy person zooming up from behind and muscling into the queue in which I have been patiently sitting for an appreciable amount of time. Let them wait their turn, I say!

I do, too, but zip merging removes exactly this problem. You have (presumably) two solid queues, merging in turn, so nobody has to worry about the 'queue jumpers' because it's impossible to do so. (Done safely, I don't count the 'third lane' of motorcycle filtering as queue jumping)

Precisely!

Didn't I pontificate on this subject only the other night in another thread.
Or to put it another way...........and so say all of us.........

If the National Audit Office are so good at telling the Highways Authority how to do their jobs why don't they just get on with it.
